Transformation

 

    God created you for a purpose.  That purpose is not to waste your life, but live it fully with Him.  Every single aspect of your life has reason and purpose.  More importantly, God is with you in every aspect of your life.  That means that every experience, even the bad ones, have value.  God is transforming you every day as you invest into your relationship with Him.

    You were created to reflect God on earth.  He is all that is good about you.  He has enabled you to have joy in every experience.  When things get hard, celebrate because God is with you and hopefully showing through you.  The only true satisfaction you will have in your life is in Him.  When life hurts and is too much, turn to Him.  He will change your attitude, circumstance, or perspective to make things better.

    Trust in God's victory in your life.  Be aware of your circumstances and events happening in the world, but do not be consumed by them.  God is working in it.  He is doing more than you will ever be able to recognize or see.  He is preparing you for what life throws at you, so when you struggle allow God to work to make it good.  No matter how bad the event may be, God will use it for good.  Just wait, trust, and witness.

    Restoration is not an escape.  Restoration is healing.  It is allowing God to make you whole when the world tries to tear you apart.  Trust in God's plan that He wants good things for you.  If you reject Him, then you will not experience the blessings of faithfulness.  You will never experience the peace of Him taking care of you.

    Wrestle through your inner battles, but allow God to reveal Himself.  He will reveal the truth if you are willing to see it.  If not, then sit in your mess and stop blaming other people or Him for it.  If you do not understand, then it is because you choose not to.  You will never experience His transformation if you are too busy pushing Him out of your life.

    Rejecting God only leads to heart ache.  God is the masterpiece. He could force you to do anything, but He allows your transformation to be your choice.  One day you will bow, but hopefully it will not be too late.  Disobedience is sin.  It is never okay.  It will hinder your transformation, but God can always use it too.  The only way you really win is life is to allow God to transform you through faith.
